This is the ref sheet of Nulkurrak, my fursona who I prefer to treat as a character rather than directly identify myself with him. As a writer, I always tend to make my characters more interesting and compelling in one way or another, and the same goes with this playful fella.

Personality-wise, Nulkurrak is a mixed bag. His timid nature keeps him from venturing beyond the boundaries of his comfort zone, often preferring to have others introduce him to new experiences, unless curiosity gets the better of him and leads him astray. Although he prefers a cautious and safe approach when meeting strangers, he is often playful, almost childish, with those he trusts, a trait more specific to dragons than gryphons, who tend to be more self-composed. As the poses in the reference sheet suggest, he can be both silly and imposing at times, resorting to violence only as a last resort and if the other party attacks first. His first instinct is to diffuse and delay a possible conflict, and even fly away from it if means ensuring his safety at the cost of his pride, something that a regular gryphon would seldom do.

The peculiarities of Nulkurrak's behavior are explained by his upbringing, where his adoptive family consisting of furred dragons gave him a name of both gryphon and dragon heritage, and raised him as such as well. There is much more to his story, but I haven't explored it in depth myself so I'd rather keep it brief to transmit only the main idea over. Who knows, I might even change some aspects of his backstory, as I haven't completely settled on one variant.
